The President to-day transmitted to the
House OF representatives a letter from the
Secretary OF State.
Among the petitions presented to-day
we're several protesting against the adop'
ton OF the conference report on the Inter
State Commerce bill.
The President held a short public recep-
ton in the East room to-day. His right
knee is still stiff and causes a slight limp in
his walk, but otherwise his health is re-
ported to be good. The President has, SO
far, failed to nominate Mr.. Manning as
Minister to Mexico, and the impression is
almost general that this appointment will
be allowed to lapse. This belief is strength
ened by the fact that there is but or more
day in which a. nomination can be made.
and further by an unofficial statement by
the President hat all the
recess nominations have been sent in.

What Cevlyls Said Of His Books.

"But it's been 80 with all my books. I've
had little satisfaction or encouragement in
the dom of them, and the most satisfaction
I can get out cf them now is the sense Of
havin' shouldered a heavy burden O work,
an not flinched under it. I've had but one
thing to say from beginnin' to end o them,
and that was that there's no other reliance
for this world or any other but just the truth,
and that if men did not want to be damned
to all eternity, they had best give up lynn,
and all kinds O falsehood; that the world was
far gone already through lynn, and that
there's no hope for it save just so far as men
find out and believe the truth, and match
their lives to 1t. But on the whole the world
has gone on lynn worse than ever! "a laugh.)
It's not a very pleasing retrospect-thosc
books O mine-of a long life: a beggarly ac-
count of empty boxes. "-Charles Eliot Nor

IRISH TENANTS CONVICTED.

The Sentence and Remarks bv the Cour'
That Tried Them.
DUBLIN, December 5.-Fifty.six men wer.
arrested last August, at the time Father
Fahey was taken into custody for resisting
collections OF rent and eviction on the
Clanicarde estates at Woodford, County
Galway. To-day they were sentenced to
imprisonment ranging from IL to Is
months. The judge who delivered SEN
fences censured the Inspectors OF Police
and local magistrates for allowing rioting,
and declared no Chief Secretary for Ire
lard, no Under Secretary, and no Inspec.
tor-General could be justified in giving the
order to prevent the police from assisting
the sheriff in making the evictions or car
rying on the proceedings under the law for
collection of rents due.
Be it remembered, Gen. Sir Reduins Bull.
Ter, who. at the time OF these riots, who
was in special military command inland,
had a short time before caused it to be
known he ~ould not permit the military
to be used in eviction work without first
being convinced that their assistance was
absolutely necessary. This withdrew from
the sheriffs the military upon which they
previously ALWAYS relied, and with which
they were usually accompanied in their I'M
dertakings, and the landlords contend. Gre
ated the situation encouraging lawlessness
and rioting ON the part OF defaulting ten

Mime. Nilsson's Count Casa Miranda.
Christine Nilsson is going to marry the
Count Casa Miranda, a Spanish deputy, and
Of no particular Importance, who has sowed
any amount of wild oats i'll this capital. He
comes Of a very respectable family, but it has
not long been ennobled; hence it is great
mistake to call him grandee. His mother
was the first one of the family that was ever
ennobled, and the title Of countess was given
her by the father of ex-Queen Isabella in
recompense of fidelity as ]ady's maid to her
daughter. When Isabella assembled the
throne she gave Senior Casa Miranda the
right to bear that title, and to nave it de-
scend to bis heirs forever. We all know him
here, as he used to be correspondent OF two
or three Spanish papers. He is about S.
years Of age-that is to say, about ten or
twelve years older than Mime. Nilsson. He
has a daughter, a young lady of about 26,
who has been living with her future step
mother for four years-Paris Coz. Boston

and Elizabethport, who struck on Monday
to resist q reduction of wages, wern Joined

to echo "God bless you.'

Occupation for Wealthy Youn: Men.
The truth is, the modern development of
outdoor sports of all kinds is proving the sal
walton of the very large class Of wealthy
young men. One of the physicians in Bloom

that the percentage of bis patients who had
lost their minds simply because they had
never had any occupation was startling. Cne
Of the patients there, a member Of one OF New
York's old families, that reckons its city

Hereditary Titles in Portugal.

There are few hereditary titles in Portugal.
Aristocratic honors are generally bought,
and are not revert.ble to the sons of the buy
ers. When a purchaser dies his title is set up
for sale, and his children, if they do not pur-
chase it, resume the original family name.
Love matches in the best society arc very
common, but they do not improve tho race,
and the upper class Portuguese remain the

Coal Handlers Strike.

New YORK, January 5.-The strike Of the
coal handlers is extending all along thu
lines of the Delaware & Hudson Canal Com.
pany, the Philadelph'a & Reading Railroad
and the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Com
pany. This morning the men at Shambay
who hesitated about striking, we're ord, red
out by the Knights OF Labor. Their griev.
ances are identical with those employed ct
Weehawken, EIizabethport, Bergen Point
and Southambay, who have been put
for iortv-eight hours. The only point
where the work was continued to-day was
at Port Richmond on the Delaware. Here
the men are holding back until ordered by
the Knights of Labor to stop. AMI it is
believed that the order will come promptly
and that Port Richmond men will be idle
tomorrow. There was some talk this
afternoon of the railroad and coal COM
panies holding a meeting for the purpose
of e~ffecting a settlement. All are sacrificing
big sums by the strike and the majority
of the companies think it is ad 'isable, it is
said. to grant the demand OF the men for
an increase OF rates. There have been no
disturbances. Five Thousand men are out.

robbers were not taken to the penitentiary
to-day, as it was expected they would be,
but they will be sent up tomorrow. In a
brief interview with Wittrock this morning.
that worthy gave a list OF information not
before made public, which was to the effect
that he specially stipulated with the detec-
tives that they must lift the mortgage on
his mothers house before he would turn
up any OF the stolen money. This, he said,
they promised to do, and added that it was
done when they went out to Leavenworth,
and thus his chief object in the robbery Of
the express company was accomplished.
The mortgage was for $1,7OO. The Grand
Jury has found an indictment against a
Moriarity. charging HIM with being an &C
cessory to the robbery both before and at.
ter. He has not been arrested yet, and it
is said that he will not be prosecuted, as it
was through Information derived from him
that Wittrock and his pals were arrested.

to dO-aged him with the Joss OF yours en-.
thusiasm, youths ardor, and, alas! much also
of its purity.
Yet he has got on in lfel Only somehow
life seems to have grown so little worth. He
has made ambition his god, and the sacrifices
he has offered on its altar hav been many,
and now it does not seem to him that his re-
Ggion has been an ennobling one.
In the few seconds during which the past
rolls back on him the young man has a sort
Of dual consciousness; he sees himself on the
canvas, as it were, and yet plays the part Of
spectator.
But it is not his own figure that interests
him most in the scene before him, it is that of
the bright young girl walking by its side.
How happy she seems, and how at home with
him!
He had never spoken to her Of love, and yet
both had been content to enjoy the present, to
rest in the sympathy and the rapport which
makes loves paradise.
That very morning was she not paying him
the highest compliment woman can pay to
man! Namely, take for granted he will
understand her when she reveals herself at
once as the poet and the child.
Alb me! would she be able to trust him as
completely now, or would the mists of world
illness that have crept round his soul be a
barrier against the sunshine Of her confidence:
How her pretty innocent fancies come back,
though the scene fades from before him, and
he is conscious only of the present and its con-
trast with the past!
There was the spot on the north side Of the
hills where the cold winds beat, and where
they found a cluster Of white harebells, and
she called them sainted flowers, that had been
purified by suffering and endurance, and she
picked one or two and sheltered them in the
heaven Of her breast. Then, dropping the
sweet seriousness of her mood, she showed a
dainty playfulness that seemed like the spray
from the fountain of her inner happiness.
She gathered the long grasses and showed
him how to play soldiers" and tell for
tunes, and held a fairy-like head OF dande-
lion to his lips and made him blow upon
it to find out the hour, and whether they
would be late for luncheon.
He had taken care that it should make The
